      <title>When a Trade Has Two Legs: Settlement Across Two Holiday Calendars</title>
      <link>https://redmoonbusinessdatecalculators.com/blog/t-plus-1-cross-border-settlement-two-calendars/</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://redmoonbusinessdatecalculators.com/blog/t-plus-1-cross-border-settlement-two-calendars/</guid>
      <description>T+1 tells you when the securities leg settles. A cross-border trade also has a cash leg that clears on a different calendar — and the date you actually need is the later of the two.</description>

      <title>The I-9 Clocks That Start After Day One: Reverification, Rehire, and Retention</title>
      <link>https://redmoonbusinessdatecalculators.com/blog/i9-reverification-and-rehire-the-clocks-after-day-one/</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://redmoonbusinessdatecalculators.com/blog/i9-reverification-and-rehire-the-clocks-after-day-one/</guid>
      <description>The three-business-day rule is only the first I-9 deadline. Reverification counts down to a document expiration date, rehires reopen a three-year window, and retention is the later of two dates — none of them a business-day count.</description>

      <title>Reg CC &quot;Available&quot; Is Not &quot;Cleared&quot;: The Date That Can Bankrupt You</title>
      <link>https://redmoonbusinessdatecalculators.com/blog/reg-cc-funds-available-is-not-check-cleared/</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://redmoonbusinessdatecalculators.com/blog/reg-cc-funds-available-is-not-check-cleared/</guid>
      <description>The funds-availability date tells you when the bank must let you withdraw — not when the check is safe to spend. A deposit made available on day two can still bounce weeks later, and the gap is where check fraud lives.</description>

      <title>The Same-Day Filing Cutoff in New Zealand: Why Filing on the Right Day Can Still Be Late</title>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://redmoonbusinessdatecalculators.com/blog/nz-filing-same-day-cutoff-two-clocks/</guid>
      <description>Counting a New Zealand filing deadline to the correct day is only the first clock. The second is the registry&apos;s daily cut-off time — which decides whether your lodgement is recorded as filed today or the next working day, and differs by channel and timezone.</description>

      <title>Should You Offer 2/10 Net 30? The Supplier’s Side of Early-Payment Discounts</title>

      <description>Buyers ask whether an early-payment discount is worth taking. Suppliers should ask whether it is worth offering — because a 2% discount is real margin you give away to pull cash forward. Here is how to weigh the two dates and the cost.</description>

      <title>SLA Service Credits: &quot;99.9% Uptime&quot; Means Different Things Depending on What You Divide By</title>

      <description>COBRA gives you 60 days to elect continued coverage — but the clock rarely starts the day your job ends. Here is what actually sets day zero, and the two deadlines that follow it.</description>

      <title>EEOC Charge Deadlines: Why &quot;180 Days&quot; and &quot;300 Days&quot; Are Both Right, Depending on Your State</title>

      <description>Most EEOC discrimination charges actually run on a 300-day clock, not 180 — but only where a state fair employment agency covers the same claim. Here is how to tell which one applies to you.</description>

      <title>When Do Unemployment Benefits Actually Run Out? It Depends on More Than the Week Count</title>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://redmoonbusinessdatecalculators.com/blog/hipaa-breach-notification-the-60-day-clock-and-the-other-deadline/</guid>

      <title>The Final Paycheck Deadline: Why &quot;Fired&quot; and &quot;Quit&quot; Are Two Different Clocks</title>

      <description>Federal law gives employers three business days to complete Section 2 of Form I-9. The first day of work is day zero, weekends and federal holidays drop out, and very short hires get a different rule. How the count actually works.</description>
